The 2023-24 Audi FIS Ski World Cup hasn’t been exactly what the fans would’ve wanted it to be. A multitude of cancellations in the men’s course have disappointed skiers and fans of alpine skiing alike. Amidst all the anticipation, Olympian Mikaela Shiffrin took a stumble at the women’s Great Slalom in Levi, as Slovakian Petra Vlhova inched past. However, Shiffrin seems to be in a jocund mood as she works hard to get back on her throne.
While doing some recovery endurance enhancement training, Shiffrin took the time to satiate the fans’ curiosities. In a recently shared post on Instagram, Shiffrin can be seen focused on being in her peak shape. However, she also seems to be in a good mood and not afraid to speak her mind as she answers pressing questions.

In her latest Insta post, Shiffrin is seen taking on a round of rapid-fire questions directed at her. The world’s most celebrated alpine skier starts with the disclaimer, “Rapid fires are never easy for me“. Unsurprisingly, the first question had to be about her favorite choice for pasta, given the Olympian’s publicly confessed love for the dish. “Penne“, Shiffrin didn’t hesitate to belt out her favorite type of pasta. At the next question (Tennis or soccer?), Shiffrin revealed that she does enjoy the former more.

For most people, choosing between Jennifer Lawrence and Margot Robbie would be a significant dilemma. But for Shiffrin, The Hunger Games star easily takes the round. Shiffrin also mentioned she values “tech” more than “speed” but prefers to stay in and watch a movie over going out.
The next question came with a sneer (Futball or football?). The skiing icon was pretty sure of her choice as she seemed to utter the word “Football” with an American fondness for the game. Interestingly, the next question came in similar veins as Shiffrin was asked “Adidas or Adidas?”, with one of the options making a nod to the German part of the apparel giants. After much deliberation, Shiffrin had to choose the authentic way of saying the name.

In the post, Shiffrin encouraged her fans to ask her to choose from two options and they did not disappoint. One fan wanted to know how Shiffrin got by during all her time playing in new places. “During holidays, relax on the beach or travel and visit landscapes?“, the fan wanted Shiffrin to answer.
“Crunchy PB or Smooth PB?“, another fan was asking all the real questions. For another, it was more important to know Shiffrin’s guilty pleasures: “Waffles or donuts?”

Another fan wanted to know which among Vail and Beaver Creek is Shiffrin more fond of by penning “Vail or Beaver Creek?” But someone else took the responsibility to remind this fan “As an @ikonpass ambassador, Aspen or Copper may be a better question for her.” Shiffrin indeed has some intriguing answers to the rapid fire questions. However, fans also penned their curiosity to know more about the legend. With this, the alpine skiing queen is all set to take over her next slalom run, as she looks forward to add more accolades to her already impressive resume.
